Reviews of the Dark World

Since the first reviewer already wrote the whole thing about the "The
Dark World" I will direct my opinion on "Marina" our heroine, who is an
outcast, but destined to fight the evil forces. Yes, the movie
resemblance much of what we have seen before, even "Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon", but this is a movie that appeals to young and older
audiences, because Marina is intriguing, vulnerable and strong at the
same time, going against the condescending attitude of everyone else
including her teacher who sees her as a girl with a head full of chaos,
but that is what made her so appealing. Marina is out of place because
of her beliefs; and at the very same time she gets depressed for this
reason, because deep down she would like to be the normal girl, pretty
as others, cool and magnetic. What I am trying to describe is a
character that is multidimensional on screen, contrary to the flatness
of "Bella" Swan, AKA Kristen Stewart on those movies and books I didn't
like. This Russian movie works in a proper level, where we have the
witches and the "warlock" without the so much distracting weird love
story. Still we find the romantic element and the crush that at one
point of another so many of us have experience in life. The visuals and
acting are very acceptable, and even though in the last twenty minutes
the movie show some of its flaws it made me feel that I didn't waste
two hours and twenty minutes of my life. The only complain I have is
that DARK WORLD: EQUILIBRIUM (2013) will introduce us to a whole new
set of characters. So my questions are: Alexander will be back to get
his butt kicked again by the witches? There will be more witches? One
way of another I liked "The Dark World" because it doesn't carry the
usual propaganda or agenda, is just the regular fight between good and
evil, just let yourself immerse into this movie and have fun!
